Hi all,

I've = recently started to add some Lisp functions to my .emacs file. = For
instance, these two functions = change the colors in Emacs, with white
fonts = over black background or vice-versa:

;;;###autoload
(defun black-on-white()
=A0 =A0 (and
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0 (set-foreground-color "black")
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = (set-background-color "white")))

(defun = white-on-black()
=A0 =A0 (and
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0 (set-foreground-color "white")
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = (set-background-color "black")))

Now, I would = like to call these functions by typing M-x white-on-black,
but they simply are not available there. The apropos = command (M-x
apropos) acknowledges that they = exist, but when I type M-x

Any ideas = ?

Look at the function: = interactive

Probably you = just need (interactive) but there is a lot to it.
